The GeForce RTX™ 5080 16G INSPIRE 3X is a top-tier graphics card tailored for gamers and creators who require excellent 4K and AI-accelerated performance. Built on NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, it comes with advanced features, premium triple-fan cooling, and a robust metal backplate for thermal efficiency and durability.

GPU and Memory
This card features 10,752 CUDA cores and 16GB of ultra-fast GDDR7 memory, running at 30 Gbps on a 256-bit interface, providing superior bandwidth for 4K gaming and creative workloads. The boost clock reaches up to 2617 MHz for peak responsiveness in demanding scenarios.

Cooling System
INSPIRE 3X uses a triple-fan (STORMFORCE FAN) configuration, with seven-blade fans, specialized texturing, and a circular arc for optimal airflow and minimal noise. The card employs a nickel-plated copper baseplate and square core pipes for maximum thermal transfer, backed by a robust metal backplate with airflow vents and thermal pads.
